Here in the colonies they still sell a PCI card that gives you one
parallel and two serial ports. For instance:
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?pfp=cat3&product_code=271773&Pn=2_Port_Serial_1_Port_Parallel_PCI_Card
I see the price is rising - I paid about $20 a couple years ago.
Perhaps you can find one similar in the mother country as well?
Uses only one interrupt and is PnP.
